I have found Markhammetals to be on the expensive side. I havent tried Turner Steel yet . . . but i hear they're worth the trip.

I have had a few good experiences with Turner. For what you need, chances are youll find something in their "scrap" pile. Usually youll get it for very short money.

metals usa is in seekonk on the border of pawtucket and attleboro. i believe you can get just about any type of steel stock you'd need for jeep fab there. also, i called american steel in cumberland RI and they claim to have lots of sheet metal goods of all types but i didnt actuall end up doing business with them. as far as a welding workshop goes, i'm in with my lincoln 110 mig setup or, for a more professional approach, theres a school in south providence that does hobbyist and professional classes. i think the hobbyist classes start around $150. the pro classes are a few K.

Well, I went to Haverhill Steel. Pick up a few pieces of channel stock 4"x1 3/4 to fix my frame and some flat stock, all for $20. I found the 4" x 1 3/4" channel stock is going to be just perfect to repair a section on my frame. It will let me weld the nuts inside the frame and than I can cap it off with flat stock. If this works I won't have to use the frame I got which is questionable now that I have been working on it.
